Meijer adds perk to home delivery

GRAND RAPIDS, MI --- Customers who have their Meijer groceries delivered through Shipt can now take advantage of mPerk rewards.

Meijer is now letting customers link their mPerks accounts to their Shipt home delivery account so they can earn rewards on qualifying purchases.

But there's a catch. The rewards can only be redeemed during in-store visits, according to the retailer.

"As popular as our home delivery service is, we know that customers still visit the store and are always looking for new opportunities to save," said Art Sebastian, Meijer's vice president of digital shopping, in a statement.

The rewards earned for online shopping orders is on top of sales on hundreds of items found through the Shipt app to home delivery customers, Sebastian added.

Since launching in Detroit last year, Meijer has quickly expanded the delivery service throughout six states where the Midwest retailer has 235 stores.

Customers sign up for the Shipt service and shop online for 55,000 groceries and everyday essentials and perishables. Shipt shoppers deliver orders within a preferred one-hour time window.

Meijer customers can sign up for Shipt memberships for $99 per year for unlimited deliveries on orders over $35. Delivery is free for orders over $35 and a flat $7 delivery fee is added to any orders under $35.
